Two cases of retroperitoneal metastasis from a completely regressed burned-out testicular cancer.

Introduction: Primary extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCT) are rare and it is still a matter of debate if they have to be considered as primary extragonadal issues or metastases from a primary testicular neoplasm. We describe two cases of the so-called burned-out seminoma, a primary testicular germ-cell tumor that spontaneously regressed after demonstration of retroperitoneal metastases.

Cases Presentation: Two patients (35 and 50 years old, respectively) presented with CT findings of retroperitoneal masses.

Leiomyomata of the genitourinary tract: a case series from the "rare urological neoplasm" registry.

Objective: Leiomyomata are benign neoplasms that are rarely encountered in the genitourinary tract outside the uterus. Pathological confirmation is always needed for definitive diagnosis, in order to rule out malignancies such as leiomyosarcoma. In cases of small leiomyomata, a surveillance strategy can be suggested, although the preferred approach is complete resection.

Multipathogenetic origin of a pelvic mass.

A 69-yr-old woman presented with a bulky hypogastric mass and abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan showed a mass anterosuperior and contiguous to the bladder wall, with a hypodense content, a voluminous bladder stone, and bilateral hydroureteronephrosis. Intraoperatively, the supravesical mass had the appearance of an infected urachal cyst.
